Be honest, how many of you are going to waste money on buying

Why is the screen so narrow?

ew

>$349 or more

Jesus fuck, it has the functionality of a $20 plastic toy.

Interested, but $350 is too much maybe

>>7324279

You're paying for the social aspect of it.

Nothing else will so greatly extrude an aura of "I am a professional writer" as it will. You'll be the envy of everyone at the cafe.

I already have a mechanical keyboard so why would i waste my money on this shit.

Jesus Christ how horrifying.

I am looking for a cheap word processing device to use though. Something with no connection to the internet and without any other features so I can write without distractions.

Any recommended devices?

>>7324120
fucking stupid hipster shit

Either turn your internet off or have some fucking discipline and not click on all your porn tabs while you're trying to work. Like $350 really? Should be a $35 dollar toy.

Any laptop and an ounce of self-discipline

to show others that you can

>>7324305
There are tons of free software that will turn any computer into that. Also a small bit a discipline goes a long way.

>>7324328

I use Ommwriter

But I was an earlybird and got it when it was free, I'm not sure what it costs to get it now, something like 5 bucks I believe.

i think it's called a 'hemmingwrite', some meme kickstarter fuckery

>>7324330

Thank you.

It should be illegal to appropriate someone's name for capitalist exploitation.

Hemmingweights.

>>7325152

But his name wasn't Hemmingwrite, it was Hemingway?

Are you that fucking stupid that you can't remember Hemingway's name?

Pretty sure it's called "Freewrite" now. Googled it about a month ago and that's what popped up.

Seems like the sort of thing a white middle class woman from SoCal would buy, to sit and write femdom erotica while sipping a mocca latte at Starbucks.

In other words, fuck no. I ain't buying that shit.

HOW ARE PEOPLE ACTUALLY BUYING THIS

You can buy a fucking laptop on Amazon for 200 bucks, right now!

>>7324120

I love how it has a handle so you can carry it around in public and show everyone what a huge faggot you are

>>7324305

just buy some pos computer and don't plug it in to internet

honestly if you're so easily distracted how do you get anything done in life?

I would never take my typewriter to starbucks (or even go to a fucking starbucks) but I feel like that gay ass thing would look more fucking stupid than an actual typewriter.

>>7325539
>the feeling of labouring over every word in order to have perfect page after writing

Seems like time wasted that could have been spent actually writing.

Hola lokiiiiii !!!

>>7324283
How can you even write at cafe? Whenever I write I get way too emotional to be around polite society.

By contrast an Alphasmart Neo or similar tools designed primarily for special needs education (review of a neo is anyone's wondering: http://geardiary.com/2010/07/25/the-alphasmart-neo-the-ultimate-draft-writing-tool/, and before anyone asks, no there appears to be no generic term for these kinds of products) can be bought for less than $200 and are a hell of a lot smaller and more practical.

nah but i would buy a cheap used alphasmart if i could find one (ebay cad shipping is horrible)

Or a laptop without WiFi connection.

Alternatively, get a raspberry pi. it's cut out for this sort of stuff.

What a piece of shit you are

AND you can pay some geek to remove the WLAN antenna inside and you have yourself your very own typewriter.

>>7324305
Pencil \ paper

Seems a bit odd since laptops and typewriters already exist. I appreciate that the apps you can get for your laptop are basically useless unless you are retarded and self discipline isn't a realistic long term solution, but shit, just get a pen and paper.

Is your hand going to fall off or something? If you're getting cramp then you're writing too quickly anyway. Or pick up an actual typewriter for pennies.

>>7324330
>Ommwriter
Thank you, already bought it. Is the music they advertise integrated? Or do I have to torrent shit as well? What about 2 files at once, side-by-side?

>>7328815
P.S: been shilled, it's useless for me.

>>7324305

I don't see Leisure Class getting mentioned very often here. Great read. Have you read any other Veblen? I was considering it but am not sure.
